ASSIGNED NUMBERS

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.

Two estranged friends and musical group partners (Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac) are brought together for a tribute to the late lead singer in their group. One has dreams of making a comeback, while the other is just trying to forget the past. Also with Sharon Leal, Affion Crockett, P.J. Byrne, Jennifer Coolidge, Sean Hayes and Isaac Hayes. Directed by Malcolm D. Lee. [1:40]

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
